Good Morning, Shirttail Slim & Ooops

Ooops!, I will add to that breakfast ice cream for serena and eggs over easy for me.

Dusty does appear to have gone off the deep end.

Good Morning GROG!, Ooops, Shirttail Slim and the rest of the TRIBE!

> “Gotta get the cheese back on my cracker.”I don’t know if there’s a pop reference here, but I just might adopt the phrase for my own use. There are days when the cheese never makes it onto my cracker in the first place. :(

Morning, Knightman & Alain

good morning tribe, everyone young and old, and the ever present…GROG! !!!

banana and coffee to go please, Oooops!.gotta hit the floor running after this post. mom has places to go and people to see, and she cant get there without me driving.

yea, and the butter slipped off of Dustys bun a loooong time ago…

Good Morning, noicantspell & serena

serena, I’m surprised I remembered, but I did and that’s all that matters.

Heretofore my favorite phrase of this kind has been, “I don’t know if you’ve got the whole picture or not, but he’s not exactly working on all thrusters.” – Dr. McCoy to Admiral Kirk about Mr. Spock, in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (at roughly 00:15:51).But “the cheese isn’t exactly on his cracker” – now that has a unique sting to it. :)

my favorite has ben, “the lights are a-flashing, and the bells are a-ringing, but there ain’t no train a-coming”.

Alain, I’ll have to think about that one a while. If they were original series references, I’d probably have no problem telling you where it came from. Movies and the latter versions of the series are not implanted in my memory after 46 years or so like the original.

Hi, friends! – My favorite has been, “sharp as a ball-bearing”, although I’ve been known to use others. Winter has arrived here. It snowed here last evening, got maybe a couple of inches. I hear we’re in for a cold spell this coming weekend/week. Time to start wearing my long underwear again. Sigh.

Hi, Rmom & Doctor Toon

Hi, Doc & Grog!

Hi, everybody! (including SR Mom!)

Hi, bmonk.

I’ll be heading to an offsite meeting for the afternoon so I won’t be back until tonight.

Yep, it’s still below 0—or maybe just above by now. But cold, in any case.

I just heard the overnight low is expected to be 10°F. I don’t think we’ve been that cold this whole winter.

I’ve always been fond of: Not the brightest crayon in the tool box.

Hi Smiley MomWe have some lovely rain and gloomy gray skies today. I should figure out how to send our moisture inland so you all can build snowmen.

Rmom, it’s pretty hard to fall asleep when I’m doing all the talking. However, I love seeing how certain managers’ eyes will glaze over at financial presentations. But then, my eyes may glaze over at one of their presentations. It can happen.

I could fall asleep if I was doing all the talking.

Ooops!, it’s one sure way for me to stay awake. Maybe I like hearing myself talk.

Really? Well, I talk in my sleep so sleeping wouldn’t shut me up. I may even hear myself too.

That’s how you roll.

Usually on the floor, Ooops!

Doctor Toon, I don’t want it you can have it it’s too fat for me.

Hmmm someone should write a polka with those words.

Doc, fling it over Ooops!’ way.

A polka? What is a polka?

Ooompa Ooompa Ooompa!

They made me do it! Stupid Penguins.

Well at least they’re not on the tele.

No,that one moved to the to of the Christmas Tree and then to the top of the shelves. He hangs out with Fred.
